I'm confused about something.
I have a single DC windows 2000 standard. This is the only DC on the network.
I just installed a stand alone 2003 standard server. I want to dcpromo the W2003 server.
I did the adprep on the windows 2000 server, then I uninstalled the windows 2000 administration tools.
Installed hotfixes, etc.
then ran winnt32.exe /checkupgradeonly.

No known issues.
Is this correct, all the AD tools: AD USers & computers, etc are gone, is that because of the 2000 administration tools?
Then I dcpromo'd the windows 2003 server, and things got whacked. I couldn't check the W2K machine because it had no admin tools on it.

What am I doing wrong?
Can someone help me.
thanks
I checkd out MS Document #325379
